How much food should you feed your kitten?

The size and age of your cat will determine the recommended feeding amount. As a general guideline, kittens should start eating two meals per day by the time they are six months old.

The best way to determine the correct amount to feed your cat is by looking at the label on your pet food, which provides feeding guidelines based on the weight and age of your cat.

Additionally, you can consult with your veterinarian for further guidance and information on proper nutritional intake.
